Ugh,
I am so tired of defective equipment! I wrestle with things that don’t work
properly every day at my job. Here at home, the roof leaks, our water heater is
about to cash in its chips, and don’t even get me started on everything else
that needs to be replaced… Earlier today, something I had plugged into a power
strip stopped working, because the power strip suddenly decided to shut off. After that, another incident occurred that left me tugging at my hair.
Today
was a day off. On my days off, I try to cook nutritious meals for my husband,
who indulges in extremely unhealthy habits. Therefore, I filled my crock pot with
chicken breasts, which would later be combined with brown rice and vegetables.
An hour later, I lifted the lid. The chicken sure didn’t seem to be cooking
very fast. As a matter of fact, I didn’t even feel any heat. Don’t tell me the crock
pot had breathed its last??
I
got into mechanic mode and began troubleshooting. Lo and behold, I actually
solved the problem! I discovered that there is a white cord, about three feet
in length, protruding from the back of the crock pot. When the appliance fails
to heat up, if the prongs at the end of this cord are plugged into similar
holes in the wall, it seems to take care of the problem. What a relief – and thanks
to my superior fix-it skills, a nice, low cholesterol meal will be served on my
dining room table this evening!
